Hi, Why do women stay with cheating men? And does their cheating ways come back to haunt them?

This is what happened where I dumped my ex for cheating. I had no idea I was the other woman until I saw pictures of his girlfriend. As far as I can tell, they have been together for a while, perhaps more than one year or more. I messaged her on facebook about him cheating. Now I don't expect her to believe me, but would the message make you worried or get you thinking that the person is telling the truth? As for him, he never expected me to find out about his girlfriend and see through his lies. Why is she staying with him and will his cheating come back to hurt him in the long run?

Yes, this makes a lot of sense. But he has cheated several times on her, and despite all this she still loves him. Just by the way he is, I am not the first girl he has cheated with on her.

He has bragged about several other girls he used to go out with, and I am thinking they were outside of the relationship he has with her. So if she was to try to rectify the problem, it doesn't guarantee that he will change. He is older than me by 2 years, but that is not the point.

I am aware that his good friend, which I don't know if it is her cousin or brother, even knows about him cheating. His other friends know he is cheating too, but don't say anything. You are right that she is probably in love with him, but this is only going to hurt her.

I know every person is different, and for me once is enough.

It is like what you said, where some just say once will finish the relationship. Its not my place anymore, but at some time his ways will get to him. The girl may not have wanted to read that message, but I just want her to be aware. If she brushes it off, it really will be a big loss on her part.

I don't know her, but I do care for others to not be fooled by a person like him. Not every person will say anything, but I did have the courage to send her a message. In the end, it will be up to her on how she deals with this. I doubt he will change and will continue what he is doing.

Okay, so if she is staying because of me, I do not think it is the best idea. However, it is her choice and I guess she deserves him. I just wanted her to know, because I don't think it is right. I get what you are saying about women competing against other women. However, I don't want him as a trophy, and I clearly did tell her I ended it with him. You have another point as his cheating, I just think at some point he will face consequences.
